  • 5/5 Martial B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Second visit to this magnificent animal park. What can we say if it is not to plan the day to take advantage of this great place, feeling of space, natural environment and animal welfare on the program. The opportunity to see many endangered species in nature and in good conditions. Lots of useful and educational information on the course. Opportunities to participate in certain activities and sponsor some for the preservation of species. Worth the detour and the visit. I highly recommend (Original) Deuxième visite à ce magnifique parc animalier. Que dire si ce n est de prévoir la journée pour profiter de ce super endroit, sensation d espace, milieu naturel et bien être animal au programme. L occasion de voir nombre d espèces menacée dans la nature et dans de bonnes conditions. Beaucoup d informations utiles et éducatives sur le parcours. Des possibilités de participer à certaines activités et d en parrainer certaines pour la préservation des espèces. Ça vaut le détour et la visite. Je recommande vivement

    Good place for a day visit with the family, they have a picnic area. Playground is dated.and not suitable for toddlers. Restaurant offers sandwiches, soda and snacks. Is hard to do the visit with a stroller because you have to climb some hills and there are areas with stairs.

    (Translated by Google) Healer for a day, is a magical moment even if we understand that we cannot touch them, we are in their enclosures, very close to them and we feed them and we learn a lot. My teenage daughter was in heaven (Original) Soigneur d'un jour, est un moment magique même si on comprend qu'on ne puisse pas les toucher, on est dans leurs enclos, tout près d'eux et on les nourrit et on apprend beaucoup. Ma fille, ado, était aux anges

    Amazing Place! So so better than Zoo. Makes you appreciate animals in something close to freedom. They have space and great areas to live in. They look happy and you can actually see them. It's also great for kids and If you don't like to walk you can even take a train to go up which might be useful (but you might skip some animals along the way). The only downside is that it is uphill.

    Nice animal Parc, beautiful positioned against a hill. Our children (4&6 year old) liked it. We spend 4hs and saw whole Parc. Don't get scared for the hill climb, our children easily walked up and down.

    (Translated by Google) Very beautiful park, very difficult to visit for people with health problems because 150m of vertical drop. Too little info on this subject. (Original) Très beau parc, très difficile à visiter pour des personnes avec des problèmes de santé car 150m de dénivelé. Trop peu d info sur ce sujet.

    (Translated by Google) Super Animal Park to enjoy the day with the children or not! It's nice to see endangered species being pampered with so much love (Original) Super Parc Animalier a faire tranquillement la journée avec les enfants ou pas ! Ça fait plaisir de voir les espèces menacées être chouchouté avec autant d'amour

  • 2/5 Tous en cuisine avec B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I find it a shame at the price of the ticket that the site is not up to date. And that we discover certain things after more than an hour of driving the same day. It was indicated that the little train to go up to the top of the park was not running on September 26th when it is October 1st, AND NO LITTLE TRAIN. And that there are restaurants except that the restaurant was closed, so the only place to eat suddenly and at the reception. STAND UP, may that with the rain impossible to use the tables in the distance. No anticipation made in the organization. Especially when you are accompanied by a person with reduced mobility who cannot stand for a long time. I find that a shame in view of the price of the entrance which remains the same. Under normal conditions the park should be pleasant. (Original) Je trouve dommage au prix du billet que le site ne soit pas à jour. Et que l'on découvre certaines choses après plus d'une heure de route le jour même. Il était indiqué que le petit train pour monter tout en haut du parc ne circulait pas le 26 septembre alors que nous sommes le premier octobre, ET PAS DE PETIT TRAIN. Et qu'il y a des restaurants sauf que le restaurant était fermé, donc le seul lieu de restauration du coup et à l'accueil. DEBOUT, puisse que avec la pluie impossible d'utiliser les tables au loin. Aucune anticipation de faite dans l'organisation. Surtout lorsque l'on est accompagné d'une personne à mobilité réduite et ne pouvant pas faire de station debout prolongé. Je trouve ça dommage au vue du prix de l'entrée qui reste par contre la même. Dans des conditions normales le parc doit être agréable.

  • 5/5 Manuela C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to spend the day with the kids, the setup of the zoo is pretty smart and unique compared with a classic zoo. We took the train until the top of the zoo and walked down to see the animals. Staff was friendly, gift shop very nice and the crepes yummy!!

  • 5/5 Hana H. 1 year ago on Google
    The largest zoo i ve ever seen. Animals sure feel home . Fresh air. Nature. Theres a train to take you to the peek and so many different animals . I loved it i will be back for sure

  • 4/5 Evelyn F. 4 years ago on Google
    Great day out with lots to see. The layout is very spacious and open, but easy to get around with a buggy or wheelchair. The viewing platforms are great!! Up close and personel with the tigers!! But.... 1) None of the panels included English explanations. 2) The restaurant had no bread left at 13h30 so no sandwhichs and very limited alternative options??? 3) No one available in the gift shop (18h00) to buy anything- which is a pity because they have nice little gifts for young children.

  • 5/5 Janine G. 2 years ago on Google
    Ein absolut traumhafter Tierpark mit vielen besonderen Arten. Hier ist alles mit Liebe zum Detail entstanden und die Tiere haben artgerechte und große Gehege. Wir haben selten sowas schönes gesehen! Und es ist perfekt in die Landschaft integriert. Wirklich großes Kompliment!

  • 4/5 Jérémie L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is really a top park, enough to spend a few very pleasant hours. On the other hand in terms of animal welfare, some cages are awfully small. It's a shame that we still have to consider the park as a zoo and not a reserve. It's complicated after all, and it gets better over time, so I can't wait to see how it evolves! (Original) C'est vraiment un parc top, de quoi passer quelques heures très agréables. Par contre en terme de bien-être animalier, certains cages sont affreusement petites. C'est dommage qu'on ait encore à considérer le parc comme un zoo et pas une réserve. C'est compliqué après tout, et ça s'améliore avec le temps, donc j'ai hâte de voir son évolution !

  • 5/5 Chris M. 5 years ago on Google
    Fantastic family day out. A large park with a good range of animals to see set in a rural and picturesque setting. Some enclosures are walk through with the tamer animals such as Lima's and Sika deer. Excellent children's play areas.

  • 4/5 Andrew B. 4 years ago on Google
    Well laid out with play areas for children, we used the little train to take us to the top and then walked back down with the kids. Our children particularly loved the monkees and all of their antics.

  • 5/5 Derek M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Arnaud D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A splendid day. Very beautiful animal park where you can see the animals very well. A little sporty because we go up and down a lot but it's worth the detour. We had the chance to do the family safari which I highly recommend. We were able to get as close as possible to the animals and we prepared enrichments. It was a magical afternoon for our children and again a big thank you to Charlotte. (Original) Une splendide journée. Très beau parc animalier ou l'on voit très bien les animaux. Un peu sportif car on monte et on descend pas mal mais ça mérite le détour. Nous avons eu la chance de faire le safari famille que je conseille très fortement. Nous avons pu approcher au plus près des animaux et nous avons préparé des enrichissements. Ce fût une après-midi magique pour nos enfants et encore un grand merci à Charlotte.

    (Translated by Google) A moment to share with the children The park was under construction, the animals are well installed, despite the not too large areas. It is certainly not very big, but is clean and welcoming, the staff friendly (Original) Un moment a partager avec les enfants Le parc était en travaux, les animaux sont bien installés , malgré les surfaces pas trop grandes.

  • 3/5 Ticounette D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Mixed ... Nice zoo with animals that look well treated. By cons entry rather expensive and barely friendly staff. Coffee machine broken, no towels with the pancakes yet sold 3.50 euros each and especially no gel in the dispensers, which would still be. Welcome in this period with the world passing in this park Short medium medium (Original) Mitigée... Joli zoo avec des animaux qui ont l'air bien traité. Par contre entrée assez cher et personnel à peine aimable. Machine a café en panne, pas de serviettes avec les crêpes pourtant vendues 3,50 euros pièce et surtout pas de gel dans les distributeurs, ce qui serait quand même.bienvenu en cette période avec le monde qui passe dans ce parc Bref moyen moyen

    (Translated by Google) Even though the cold temperatures last week didn't allow us to see the giraffes, we had a blast. The setting is perfect, very natural and the landscaped trails are very pleasant! The staff respects barrier gestures. Simply on top !!

  • 5/5 Alexandre T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We took the kids to this animal park in mid October. The park is very pleasant, few people (the covid may be there for something), large spaces, animals that seem well treated, and do not go around in circles, a nice variety of species, all in a park on a human scale, and at a frankly reasonable price. Small complaint, the shop displays prices really too high, leaving a bitter taste at the end, too bad just to scratch a few euros. (Original) Nous avons emmené les enfants dans ce parc animalier mi octobre. Le parc est très agréable, peu de monde (le covid y est peut être pour qqch), de grands espaces, des animaux qui semblent bien traités, et ne tournent pas en rond, une belle variété d'espèces, le tout dans un parc à taille humaine, et à prix franchement raisonnable. Petit reproche, la boutique affiche des tarifs vraiment trop élevés, laissant un goût amer sur la fin, dommage juste pour gratter quelques euros.

  • 5/5 JF B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We have been visiting the park for a good fifteen years. Each time we are pleasantly surprised by the novelties and by the beauty of the new installations, which have the good taste of being mainly in wood. Beyond the animals, the forest setting in the middle of nature is super pleasant. In addition, the new owners have considerably developed partnerships and funding for associations working for the protection of endangered species around the world. To do even better, catering should be developed a little more, not only at the entrance but also at the level of the "roof of the world". The "jars" are a very nice idea. I will be happy to help finance the park by buying even more extensive catering. (Original) Nous visitons le parc depuis une bonne quinzaine d'années. Nous sommes à chaque fois agréablement surpris par les nouveautés et par la beauté des nouvelles installations qui ont le bon goût d'être majoritairement en bois. Au delà des animaux, le cadre forestier en pleine nature est super agréable. De plus, les nouveaux propriétaires ont développé considérablement les partenariats et le financement d'associations œuvrant pour la protection des espèces menacées dans le monde. Pour faire encore mieux, il faudrait développer un peu plus la restauration, pas seulement à l'entrée mais aussi au niveau du "toît du monde". Les "bocaux" sont une très chouette idée. Je serai heureux de participer au financement du parc en y achetant une restauration encore un peu plus fournie.
